Breakfast brief
Increasingly cloudy, heat starts to fade

UV levels still high across much of the UK, but drops in Northern Ireland, and Ireland, to low.

Highs fall a little to the low-20s for most today, as cloud cover builds towards a cooler weekend.

Kickstarting your day

Welcome to the breakfast brief, bringing your first forecast of the day and a peep at the world as captured by our users.

Weather outlook

A much cloudier day than seen recently, particularly over Ireland, where it is almost coast-to-coast cloud cover. Some rain for northern Scotland and south-west Wales, but otherwise remaining dry and warm.

Shot from the world

Every morning, we take a trip across the world courtesy of our international users around the globe!

We share shots from the UK and Ireland every Sunday right here, and throughout the week on our social channels.
